Similar dishes from Singapore or Malaysia
Years ago, when discussing with someone from Singapore about "Singapore Noodles", I indeed learned that the name made no sense to him. After describing it and sharing links, he showed me a few similar Malay fried noodles dishes, which can be found in Singapore as well, which might have been the inspiration behind "Singapore Noodles". Unfortunately, I forgot the name of those dishes though, but someone else might know, in which case it would be good to add links to them. Thanks, 66.11.179.30 (talk) 00:40, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

I too had a similar experience in Singapore - they simply don't know what it is. JonRB (talk) 18:48, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

In Australia, Singapore Noodles either on the Supermarket shelf or in Chinese Takeaways or "Food Court" outlets in shopping malls are almost always a soft wheat noodle, not rice vermicelli. Don't know if it's worth putting that in the article. --MichaelGG (talk) 05:55, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

Eggs?
When I've had it it's been with little bits of scrambled eggs in it. Admittedly, I've only had it from one place, but I've seen it on the menu in another restaurant and it also mentioned eggs as an ingredient. I don't want to throw in that tidbit unsourced, so does anyone know of a source that mentions the eggs? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dozzzzzzzzzing off (talk • contribs) 02:16, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

What does this mean in English?
I am trying figure out what this sentence is actually trying to say, I am a native English speaker and I think I can decipher some sort of meaning from it but it is ungrammatical and on the face of it pretty meaningless. "'In modern English cuisine a large number of cultures are trying to reprise the origin of the noodles and have cited the name of their Singapore-style noodles as a 'Wardell' as the etymology of the name comes from the family who introduced the dish into multiple regions of England'" Dabbler (talk) 19:23, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

Sin Chew Fried Bee Hoon
Bee Hoon maybe is the same as Bihon (Pancit Bihon) a similar Filipino dish — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.49.141.10 (talk) 16:46, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

So is it available in Singapore?
At this moment, two consecutive paragraphs in the (quite short) writeup begin with the following:

"This dish is known as Xing Zhou Mi Fen (星洲米粉) in Singapore."

"Although the dish is not available in Singapore,…"

So which is it? If it's known as something in Singapore, it's certainly available there. Or is Xing Zhou Mi Fen something else entirely, perhaps? In any event, this article reads pretty incoherently.DBowie (talk) 04:08, 16 July 2020 (UTC)


 * There's an informal (but highly speculative) discussion here. My read is that, while it can be found in Singapore if you hunt for it, it's not too common or seen as a national cuisine.


 * What I'm curious about is that Mie Goreng is a big Singaporean dish, and some varieties use curry, eggs, shrimp. I don't know how similar it is, but maybe early versions of the dish in Chinatowns (going back to 1940s at least) were Chinese immigrants trying to copy a particular version of Mie Goreng they had tried. Maybe they renamed it from Malay to Chinese, using Chow Mei Fun, then that got transferred back to Mandarin in Singapore as a separate dish, Zhou Mi Fen. If that were true, Zhou Mi Fen would be the less common descendent of the original, some early variation of Mie Goreng with curry (which has happened repeatedly as the dish has moved into Indonesia or Indian communities). I can't find anyone pushing this theory online though, so not saying it's very likely. Just another idea for something that's probably impossible to trace the origin of. --Thomas B&#9816; talk 18:30, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
